Thank you, Bernd. Adding /usr/ccs/bin to the $PATH got me past that.

Now when I attempt to add --with-snmp, it fails with

drivers"

But I'm running Solaris 10, the service "/application/management/sma" is 
enabled, and /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf exists. The libraries must be 
there somewhere. How can if figure out where they are and then configure 
nut with the correct paths?
